In the context of virtual utopia, technology is becoming a way of transforming the individual and improving society, on the one hand, and a tool of human self-knowledge and a field of critical understanding of the negative consequences of global technologization, on the other hand. Technological change reconstructs the human community to such an extent that it gives rise to the concept of digital utopia - "digitopia" - due to the peculiarities of development and implementation of the Internet technologies in the everyday life of mankind.
